Claim. jesus could not cross the national-level peak of restoration before his death; this is why he must return and why everyone after him has had to climb that peak alone — only the returning Lord, knowing the formula, lets followers ride his completion.
Elaboration. SMM ties Jesus’ incompleteness to a specific scale: “Even Jesus could not go over the national standard. In order to do so, he has to come again, and only by going over the peak of the nation can he enter heaven. Right now, he is in paradise and the same reasoning applies here. The person to whom Jesus comes and directly guides and dwells within calls himself ‘Jesus.’ Seeing only this, a person thinks that Jesus is born again in him, which gives rise to the theory of reincarnation” (5.5. Returning resurrection and rebirth, 54-277, 1972.3.24). The returning Lord “must indemnify the failures of individuals, families, tribes, people and nations” and, by completing each stage, “you will also receive the benefits of those ages, ascending to the national level.” The framework downgrades Jesus’ cross to a partial victory and upgrades the True Parents’ work to the structural completion of restoration through the nation.
